I have a i9 5.Ghz with 32Gb Ram, Windows 10 Pro, Nvidia RTX2080Ti and even when I put the graphics on low as recommended with Nvidia Experience the game crashes with error  Critical Process Died!

I have benched my video card and all Games run perfect and high settings and never crash.

Understanding that this game has to render many objects in any given scene which is understandable however when I cannot run even at a low settings is not exceptable please get me touch of support to get a refund of this game please. I purchased the most expensive opition.

Most disapointed

    Since I set the FPS to 20 and changed it to Low setting, it has only crashed a few times and I have mosty been flying a lot.I have even increased the graphics  it to medium and it still ran ok, only crashing after an hour. I see there is another big patch that has been released and I hope that this might be a fix? 

    Well the the patch  (1.8.3) did not do well for my GPU. The GPU is now at constant 100% load and its getting hotter than lava if I don't run the fans at almost maximum and that's not fun cause they are loud. Before the patch it was around 75 to 85 % of load.

    I didn't change any setting what so ever in the sim. Have also seen that it is the case for other users both AMD and Nvidia that have the same issue, even in the menu the GPU is at 100%

    So I either have to reduce the FPS limiter to 40-45 or lower the clock on the GPUquite hard to not melt the room.

    I feel like I have done more touble shooting than playing this game. Really hope it will come out on Xbox Series X so I don't have trouble shoot for days.

    I have nearly the same computer specs. The game has been crashing to desktop with NO error or explanation from the start. I was hoping this latest "update" might fix it but nope. It sometimes crashes before I can even start a flight but more often it crashes after wasting an hour flying and it crashes to desktop as I get close to landing.  I not only wasted $120 on the game..but another $250 for a Honeycomb yoke and $60 on a second Saitek throttle. What an absolute disappointment after a year of waiting for the release. But Bill is richer for it so what does MS care?

    Back to X-Plane I guess.

    Well having read the current threads, I was not surprised that it crashed on the first flight after the massive patch. It seems that MS don't care at all about a very large community who clearly cannot use the game.  I wonder if the ZenDesk even bother reading what we put. I am all but done with this broken game.
